Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
Westhampton Beach offers some excellent striped bass fishing, particularly in the spring and fall as the fish migrate along the coast. The key here is understanding the forage. Bunker (menhaden) are a primary food source, so match your presentation accordingly. Live lining bunker near Shinnecock Inlet can be incredibly effective. Also, pay attention to water temperature; stripers tend to be more active when the water is between 55 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. In the fall, as the water cools, they'll move into the bays and rivers to feed on smaller baitfish. Access points are plentiful, with several public boat ramps around Moriches Bay. Be aware of strong currents around the inlets and bridges, as these areas often hold fish. Don't be afraid to experiment with different depths, especially when using artificial lures. Locally, striped bass can be quite large, with many fish exceeding 30 pounds.
